Cordelia's New Obsession Book 1: Chapter 2

Alrighty then, since this story is long in epic proportions, I had to break it down. I hope you enjoy this one as much as you enjoyed the first one. Please keep the reviews coming, it helps me write a whole lot better. Between this story and 'Right Kind of Wrong' I am always busy.

Disclaimers: I still don't own them, and never will. Please don't hold it against me.

Homecoming Day

Buffy was a nervous wreck today was the day that the queen would be crowned. She ran around her room making sure that her make up was perfect and her hair was at it's best. There was no way she was going to make a speech looking like who done it and why. Jenny was standing in the door way trying not laugh at her niece. She never saw her in this much of a panic about anything before.

"Buffy, please calm down. You are going to do fine; you have thirty minutes before you have to be at the school." Jenny tried to calm the young girl down.

"I know, I know, but this is huge. I didn't win last year and I really want it this year, I could have another crown to go with Fiesta Queen, and Miss Hemery."

"I will be there cheering you on today. I will even make an appearance at the game. I just want you to know how proud I am of you. For a teenage girl, you have over come so much. If your father was here, he would be so proud." She gave the younger girl a hug.

"Is Cordelia going to be there?" Jenny asked.

Buffy let out a disappointed sigh, "No, she said she had something's to take care of, but I will be seeing her after the dance though. So really it's no big, besides I know Lindsey and Drusilla will be there in her stead."

The girl grabbed her dress and her shoes and went downstairs. She had twenty minutes before she was due at school.

"Go on Buffy, you don't want to be late." Jenny pushed her niece out of the door.

Buffy got into her car and drove to the school. Her mind was racing; this was something that she really wanted. But also the warning the Faith incarnate told her, none of it was adding up. She pulled into the parking lot and grabbed her dress and shoes. In a mad dash she made it to the girls changing room. Amber and the rest were already changing.

"Buffy aren't you a little late." Sabrina asked the girl.

"Actually it doesn't matter if I'm late or not at least I'm here." She went into the stall and changed into her dress.

When Buffy stepped out all eyes were on her. Not only was her dress beautiful, but she was gorgeous. Sabrina rolled her eyes in disgust, "Leave it to Buffy to try and upstage us all."

Buffy was about to say something when Alexandria stopped her, "You're just jealous because she looks better than you."

There was a series of ooh's and snickering going around the locker room. Amber was getting upset at this little display.

"Excuse me we need to make our way to the float and our escorts. If you would kindly leave the childish shit here, we need to go."

All the girls fell into line and met with their escorts, Buffy had Riley Finn. He had been chasing after her for four years and he was still trying.

"You look beautiful Buffy. Could you save me a dance tonight?" He asked her.

"Sorry Riley, but I already have a date for tonight." He helped her onto the float.

Buffy took her position next to Alexandria and the float started moving. They were behind the Football Float. Crowds of people were lining the street and all Buffy could do was wave. In the crowd of people she spotted Jenny, Lindsey and Drusilla. A huge smile spread over her lips. The parade lasted for about an hour or so, and then they made their way back to the school for the pre game festival. The homecoming court had to sit at a special table and wave and sign autographs for the young people. To Buffy this was getting boring. All she wanted to do was disappear some where.

Lindsey and Drusilla approached the table. Buffy looked up and saw them standing there.

"What are you guys doing here? I thought you would be with Cordelia." She told them.

"Well, we told her we would be here in her place. She really wanted to be here, but had a previous engagement." It wasn't a complete lie, but they couldn't tell her the truth not yet anyway.

"Being here really means a lot to me. Where is Jenny?"

"Mom had to go somewhere but she will be here for the announcing of queen. Don't worry you'll win it hands down." Lindsey whispered to her.

Drusilla let a small smile form over her face as she looked Buffy over in the dress. She did have it going on body wise. Too bad she couldn't have spied her first, but she will be family soon enough.

"I like the dress Buffy. It's one of a kind." Drusilla commented.

"Thanks, it is the exact same dress I dreamed about. If you excuse me I'm needed somewhere." She walked away from her cousin and his girlfriend.

Buffy thanked the heavens that they were inside of the gym. Her hair and make up were holding up perfectly. Then again it had a lot to do with the spell she cast, but she had to add that it wasn't for personal gain. The Faith incarnate approached the blonde.

"Buffy, you have been ignoring everything I've told you. I am trying to keep you from making a mistake."

"I am not making a mistake. I don't know what the hell you are talking about."

The Faith incarnate crossed her arms across her chest. She could never forget how stubborn and pig headed Buffy can be.

"Something bad is going to happen tonight and it involves you and Cordelia. She has something planned for tonight and it's not for the greater good." She said cryptically.

"Listen whatever you are talking about won't happen. She loves me too much to let anything happen to me. Leave me alone and let me have a night of normalcy, I will worry about it later." She said defiantly.

"There is no use talking to you. I hope you make the right decision when the time comes." With that Faith incarnate left the building.

Buffy took a minute to calm her nerves and went back over to the table. Nothing was going to ruin this day for her she would make sure of that.

The Homecoming Dance

The dance was in full swing when Buffy entered the gym. It was decorated to look like a wonderland of flowers. Whoever decorated it did a good job; it looked totally different from what it looks like on the daily. She made her way over to Xander who was talking to Alexandria.

"Hey Xand, don't you look smooth in a tux." Buffy gave him a hug.

"I can't believe Jenny let you out the house in a dress like that. I like a lot, if you weren't like my sister, I would be trying to get into your pants." He joked.

Buffy put a hand over her chest like she was offended, "Xander Harris, I never." She said in her best southern accent.

"Did you see Cruella De'ville and her boy wonder?"

"Xander really stop picking on them. Whatever have they done to you?" She chided.

Xander looked away properly chastised. His attention was towards the stage when Mr. Malloy took the stage.

"If I could have all members of the Homecoming Court please make their way to the stage." He announced.

Everyone parted like the red sea to allow the girls to come through. There were a lot of cat calls and whistles. Even under the brightness of the lights people could make out Buffy's blush. They stood on the stage as you would if you were in a pageant.

"Give a hand to our lovely contestants." The gym erupted in thunderous applause. "We counted the ballots and only one girl is going to be crowned Homecoming Queen, to stand beside the King. After all of the votes, our new Homecoming Queen for Hemery High 2005 is... Buffy Summers!" Mr. Malloy announced.

Buffy gasped in complete shock, she didn't know that she was going to win. Everyone congratulated and hugged her. She stepped up so Mr. Malloy could put the tiara on her head. Tears of joy were cascading down her already red cheeks. She looked out and saw Jenny, Xander, Lindsey and Drusilla clapping for her and blowing her kisses.

"I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. Wow, I... I had this whole speech planned out and it went out the window." She joked. "Seriously, I would like to thank each and every one of you who voted for me. I just wish my best friend was here with me to enjoy this. I dedicate this win to my best friend and sister Faith." She walked off the stage and made her way towards her family.

"You looked so beautiful up there sweetheart." Jenny congratulated her.

"Thanks, I owe it all to you." She gave her aunt a smile. They were so busy smiling that they didn't even hear who won King.

"Now would the Kind and Queen please take the floor for the first dance?" Mr. Malloy announced.

Buffy made her way to the floor and was met halfway by Parker Abrams. She let out a groan of disappointment. It could have been anyone other than him; he had been trying to get into her pants since Angel died.

"We get to dance. I hope that's not all we'll do tonight." He whispered in her ear.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I am already taken. You'll just have to spend tonight with your five little friends." She smiled.

The dance was soon over and Buffy went back over to her friends. Lindsey disappeared, but Drusilla was still there.

"Where is Lindsey and Aunt Jenny?" The blonde queried.

"They had to take care of something. Cordelia would like for you to meet her at the mansion. There is a limo waiting to take you there."

The vampiress held out her hand for Buffy to take. Without hesitation she did, but had a strange sense of deja vu. The chauffer had opened the door for Buffy and she got in. He closed the door behind her and they drove off. A feeling of dread was bubbling up in her stomach. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that something was going to happen to her. Buffy helped herself to a glass of the sparkling apple cider to help calm her nerves. The limo came to a stop and her door was opened, Drusilla was standing there with her hand out.

"I'm to escort you inside. Per Cordelia's request, she was very specific." Buffy put her hand in the vampire's and followed her inside. She was then blind folded and led further into the mansion and was led down some steps.

"Where exactly are we going?" Buffy asked timidly.

"You are going to meet with Cordelia she has something very special planned for you tonight. Keep the blindfold on until you are told. She hates to be disobeyed." Drusilla said cryptically.

"Drusilla, you may leave us." Cordelia commanded. The vampire bowed out and closed the door behind her.

Silence filled the room as the vampiress made her way over to the girl. "You look so beautiful, like a blushing bride on he wedding night. So virginal and pure unsure of what's going to happen next." She whispered seductively in the younger girl's ear.

The voice sent shivers down Buffy's spine. It felt kind of weird for her to be blind folded and not know what's going on. In a way she found it rather exotic. The blindfold was removed, and Buffy let out a surprised gasp. They were in the same blood red room she dreamed about a few months ago. If this was anything like her dream, she was in trouble. Panic began to rise in her; she should have listened to her guardian. Cordelia sensed this and tried to calm the girl down.

"Buffy, you've had the dreams; you know what's going to happen. It's inevitable; you surrendered to me in your dreams. Now I'm going to make your dreams into reality."

She led the blonde girl over to the bed, "Why are you doing this to me? I thought you loved me?" She cried out.

Cordelia made her way behind the girl and began kissing her neck, "I do love you Buffy. You were meant for me, and I know you love me too." She slowly slid her fangs into the younger girl's neck, causing her to moan out in ecstasy.

"We can rule the underworld together, you and me for all eternity. We'll be together forever. Wouldn't you like that?" She kissed the outer shell of her ear.

"No, I have a destiny that I must fulfill. If I don't the world is doomed as we know it." She panted out.

"Why should you care about a destiny that doesn't care about you. Look at what it has done to you. Your mother left, your father was murdered, as was your boyfriend, and your best friend. Your other best friend was locked in an institution. So tell me Elizabeth, what do you have to live for?"

A lot of things were running through the wicca's head. Everything she was hearing was the truth. Why should she continue to sacrifice herself for the world, and a destiny that could care less for her?

"What do you say lover will you give yourself to me wholly and completely? Will join me for all eternity?"

The vampires hand made her way under the blondes dress causing her to moan again.

"Yes." She said softly.

Sorry, but this is going to be a long turning. I don't want to rush into it, I want to lead up to it gradually. You know what to do, let's see if I can get as many reviews for this story as I did the first one.
